Following your application and our first consultation call, our team will complete comprehensive research into your market, specifically tailored to the eCommerce landscape.

After the proposal is approved, we turn our focus to your eCommerce strategy. This involves in-depth discussions about your target market, sales goals, and brand image, leading to the development of a clear sitemap and a structured outline for your online store’s content.

This includes selecting elements such as typography, brand colors, logos, product imagery, and distinctive graphic designs that set your online store apart.
Moving from the prototype, our focus shifts to the technical construction of your eCommerce site. We’ll choose an appropriate eCommerce platform, ensuring a personalized online store that’s tailored to your specific needs.
With your final approval, we'll gear up for the launch of your online store. We handle all the details, ensuring a smooth transition as we take your eCommerce site live on the scheduled date.
